So, my sister got her phone stolen. This sucks, as I sympathize with getting my shit stolen. But Dani isn't exactly the most responsible or careful person you're ever going to meet, and it seems more to me she wasn't paying attention to her stuff because she was drunk at a party and someone took the opportunity to gank her Sidekick Slide.
While I'm not blaming her, I don't necessarily think she deserves a shiny new expensive phone. I talked to my mom about it the other day, because Dani was running around to the whole family asking to take OUR phones to college because she 'doesn't feel safe driving to DeKalb without a phone', which is just a bunch of BS in order to rack up our phone bill. Both my mom and I told her no, and she had a hissy fit because she thinks she's entitled to everyone else's shit because she was stupid enough to get her phone stolen. Not my problem, and I might need my phone, WHICH IS THE WHOLE REASON I HAVE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
But today my mom let Dani use her phone to call all of her friends and just chitchat for four hours, and THEN Dani finally got around to calling T-Mobile and explaining them the situation. My mom and my sister were on the computer for another half hour looking for new phones for her. Instead of ordering a cheap as free one from online, WHICH IS ALL SHE NEEDS, my mother decides to buy her a new T-Mobile Dash, which is more expensive than the Sidekick or at least in the same general price range.
AND ON THE DAY THE WORD 'PUSHOVER' WAS REDEFINED, I SAT IN AWE AND WATCHED.
Just yet another situation to prove that Dani gets whatever she wants. I went up to my mom, very calmly, and said, "So, Dani was stupid and irresponsible and got her phone stolen, so you bought her a more expensive one?" I made a point to say that I know it wasn't her fault entirely, but it's a generally accepted rule that if you're at a party with a bunch of people you don't even know to KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR SHIT. My mom got all flustered and I said, "Y'know, mom, you could've gotten her a free phone or at least a cheap and stylish one, and yet you opt for whichever one she wants. And you wonder why she's such a bitch to everyone all the time - you always give her what she wants, no matter what."
This just links back to all the stupid things that happen on a daily basis at my house. Today alone I got yelled at for not feeding the animals and doing the dishes. I'm sick at home with MONO - I'm yellow like a freakin' crayon and my throat feels like it's swollen shut, I ache all over and generally feel like crap all the time. It's hard enough for me to get out of bed in the morning, much less walk around and do chores. This obviously means nothing to my mom, who thinks that instead of sleeping all damn day and letting my body recuperate like I'm supposed to, I should be cleaning the entire house from top to bottom.
I made it very plain to her today that it's obvious to me that she favorites Dani over me. I was very calm about the whole thing, too. I was just like, "Y'know, the level of favoritism here is blazingly obvious." She didn't say a word about it, like she always does.
[/ends extended rant] Sorry, but I'm irritated and sick and cranky.
